PTL DONATIONS
Has your family made a non-fundraising donation to the PTL for the 2011-12 school year? The
suggested annual voluntary donation of $100 per family means you and your child(ren) will not be asked
to go door-to-door or to family and friends selling “stuff ” for which school would receive only about 35%
profit. Your voluntary contribution is 100% “profit” which is used for many “extras” for our school.

THIRD & FOURTH GRADE —MELHS FIELD DAY
Field Day at
Metro-East
Lutheran High
School
By Colleen Loemker, 4th
Grade Reporter
Mrs. McLaughlin’s
third and fourth grade
class took a field trip to
Metro East Lutheran
High School this past
week to have their yearly
Field Day. Field Day is a
day where you can do
events that are fun and
everyone likes. You are
competing against kids
your age from different
Christian schools. Some of
the events were volleyball
pass, washer toss, jump
rope, hockey shoot,
standing long jump, soccer kick, football throw,
and much more. You can
even win ribbons. We
might have won for the
fastest time in the obstacle course and the 100
yard relay race! They also
have food stands where
you can buy food like
hotdogs, stuff like that. ―I
loved the volleyball pass
because you got to, well,
I don’t know, play volleyball!!‖ says Samantha Kilzer in the fourth grade.
We saw some former
graduates of St. Paul’s—
Colton Masters and
Blake Stahlhut. All the
kids in the third and
fourth grade loved the
field trip! We are thankful that the kids at Metro
East did this!

Rotary Gives
Dictionaries
Nick Braun, 4th Grade
Reporter
Hubey’s mom, Amy
Thomas, who belongs to the
Rotary, has given dictionaries
to the 3rd grade and thesauruses to the 4th grade. When
you get to 3rd and 4th grade,
you will get dictionaries and
thesauruses. They help us
whenever we have to write
the definitions for our spelling
words or just have to look
something up in general. The
thesauruses help us so we
don’t have to use the same
word over and over again. We
can think of a different word!
The Rotary is a nonprofit organization that gathers money to help the commu-
nity and other parts of the
world. Right now they are
gathering money to help support a trip to build a school in
Africa. Right now the
―schools‖ are three trees that
are in a triangle. The Rotary is
sending a man named Larry
to Africa and their plan is to
build a one-room school
house so that they have shelter from harsh weather.

Samantha Kilzer, 4th Grade

The Holly Reeb volleyball
tournament is a memorial for
Holly Reeb. She went to Zion
Lutheran School in Belleville,
and was really good volleyball player.
There were 20 schools competing. Unfortunately, our
school got 20th place, but we
practiced playing against
some hard schools. It was a
good challenge for us! The
schools we played were: ZionBelleville, Word of Life-St.Louis,
Trinity St. John/ImmanuelOakawville/Nashville, Our Savior-Springfield, Zion-Bethalto,
and Trinity-Bloomington.
Our volleyball players are Libby
Schaefer, Madison Kaffer, Abbi
Meseke, Samantha Kilzer, Colleen Loemker, Rhiannon Hall,
Jayden Ponce, Sarah Niebruegge, Elaine Fizgerald, Rachel Lange, and Robi Brown.
Great job to our girls for playing
hard!

Mrs. McLaughlin’s little
sister, HN Rebekah Schlemer, stopped by the third
and fourth grade classroom to visit the students.
Schlemer read a book entitled H is for Honor: A Military Family Alphabet to
the students. The book
taught through poetry
about the experiences of
the men, women, and
families of those serving in
the American Armed
Forces. Schlemer explained her uniform,
taught the students how
to properly salute and
stand at attention, answered many questions,
and thanked the students
for the letters they sent
her division last year
while she was at bootcamp. Schlemer is serving our country as a hospital corpsman in the
Navy and will be stationed next in Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.
